Hamas fighters have visibly tightened their grip on Gaza in recent days, raising serious questions about the durability of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire with Israel. Reports from Gaza City describe public executions of men accused of collaborating with Israeli forces, a stark display of power that underscores the group’s determination to reassert dominance in the war-ravaged enclave.

Palestinian security sources say dozens have been killed in clashes between Hamas and rival groups, further destabilizing the already fragile truce.

However, Israel insists that lasting peace cannot be achieved until Hamas is fully disarmed, a condition the group continues to defy. With tensions escalating on the ground, the future of the ceasefire remains uncertain, leaving civilians caught in the middle of a volatile and unpredictable situation.
